"You weren't this interested when I kissed Ash and started hanging out with Gary," Chris reminded him.
"YOU WEREN'T VISITING THEIR HOUSES OR CALLING THEM 'CLAIR'!" Sky snapped, but almost immediately, he looked guilty for reacting that way and muttered a quick, "Sorry."
Damn.
Sky must have really hated that nickname calling.
Chris had a classmate back in high school called Sinclair, but everyone called him Clair. That had naturally made him slip up to address Sinclair the same way. He hadn't thought much of it.
If he had known how much it would upset his babe, he would have been careful.
"What... is so special about him?" Sky asked him quietly. He looked... sad. "Why?"
"Do you want it to be you?" Chris asked him.
Sky's lips parted as if to respond, but no words came. His face twisted with uncertainty. "Are you... mad at me?" he asked hesitantly, his voice softer now.
Chris sighed. "Why would I be mad?"
